Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

'Why We Fight'


Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

The Premium slug says it's for "HBO and Showtime original programming." If the word "premium" is the important part, and Starz is included, can the slug be updated?

I probably won't be seeing it till it's on Netflix, so the premium/non stuff is transparent to me; I just want to know where to threadsuck in a few months.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It can be discussed in blackfont in UnAmerican when it airs there, no problem. In Premium when it airs in the US no problem.

Whitefont here if it hasn't aired on basic or whatever cable. But not blackfont here until it's been on Netflix.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, it's airing in the UK after it airs here - so not having whitefont could cause issues.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Done.

Not having whitefont where?

Which is exactly why I'm against it. If it hasn't aired "accessibly" it shouldn't be blackfont here.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I say move it to Premium to not torture us poor folks without cable premium channels.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It really is an unprecedented event in Buffistadom Topic Classification, isn't it? My feeling is that by everything logical, the fourth series should go into Premium, but my emotion says that it belongs here.

Compassionately intolerant

My investment isn't huge in either direction. I'll just be a bit sad looking for Torchwood elsewhere.

No real logic to that I suppose. Though, I'm worried about what it means that the Beeb isn't carrying it anymore. And that it's going to the channel that makes stuff I really don't like. But, that's a conversation for another day and place.
